Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and mea-
suring the distance it moves until you feel
slight resistance. The play in the clutchpedal should be between the specified val-
ues. If the play is more or less than the
above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Fluid Control Clutch (For Diesel)Check the clutch pedal for smooth operation
and brake fluid level from time to time.
If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully
depressed, have the clutch inspected by your

the brake system which should be
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer immediately.
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Use cau-
tion when refilling the reservoir.
Do not use any fluid other than
specified brake fluid. Do not use
reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain-
ers. It is essential that foreign parti-
cles and other liquids are kept out
of the brake fluid reservoir.

With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor wall distance as mea-
sured above is less than the minimum dis-
tance required, have your vehicle inspec-ted
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
wall in your measurement.

EXAMPLE
Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment by counting the number of clicks made
by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up
on the parking brake lever to the point of
full engagement. The parking brake lever
should stop between the specified ratchet
teeth and the rear wheels should be
securely locked. If the parking brake is not
properly adjusted or the brakes drag after
the lever has been fully released, have the
parking brake inspected and/or adjusted by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Steering

Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before you
feel slight resistance. The play should be
between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily
and smoothly without rattling by turning it
all the way to the right and to the left while

VEHICLES TOUCH. Apply the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
1. Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of
the flat battery (1).
2. Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery (2).
3. Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (–) terminal of
the booster battery (3).
4. Make the final connection to an
unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mounting stud/nut (4)) of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery (1).4) If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the engine
of the vehicle with the booster battery.
Run the engine at moderate speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact
reverse order in which you connected them.
TowingIf you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a Maruti Suzuki authorised dealer
/ service stations.
w ww w
w WARNING
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to your vehicle
during towing, proper equipment and
towing procedures must be used.
CAUTION
The steering colum is not strong
enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the front wheels during
towing always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
Your vehicle may be towed using either of
the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheels
lifted and the rear wheels on the ground.
Before towing, make sure that the
parking brake is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels lifted
and the front wheels on the ground,provided the steering and drivetrain are
in operational condition. Before towing,
make sure that transmission is in neutral,
the steering wheel is unlocked (the
ignition key should be in the “ACC”
position), and the steering wheel is
secured with a clamping device designed
for towing service.If the Starter Does Not
Operate1) Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights turned
on to determine the battery condition. If the
headlights go excessively dim or go off, it
usually means that either the battery is flat
or the battery terminal contact is poor.
Recharge the battery or correct battery
terminal contact as necessary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check the
fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
authorized dealer.
